JAZZ AUDITION REQUIREMENTS

W76 Bachelor of Music – Jazz Performance C82 Diploma of Music – Performance (Jazz) (Previously coded C66 Diploma of Music Industry – Jazz)

Application Closing Date: Applications officially close on 30 September each year. You are encouraged to apply prior to this date to avoid disappointment. We will accept late applications wherever time and available slots permit but we cannot guarantee you will receive an audition if you apply after this date, nor can we guarantee this will be a face-to-face audition.

The Audition: Applicants will need to prepare themselves for a live audition & interview which will last

around twenty minutes. The audition process for the Diploma and the Bachelor of Music is

outlined below.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time. Practice rooms will be available for warming up. Please note, your audition may be filmed and/or recorded for panel review and assessment purposes. If you do not wish for this to happen, please advise your panel before the commencement of your audition.

The audition process for all Jazz courses is outlined below:

1. Prepared Piece

Perform one piece of music of your choice (vocalists will be expected to perform

two contrasting tunes) demonstrating technical skill and interpretive abilities.

We often get asked questions related to tune or song choice. ‘Jazz’ has a very broad

meaning these days, and often overlaps different styles and genres - which is part of

its strength. Examples of prepared pieces for Jazz applicants have typically included

any ‘jazz standard’ or ‘jazz instrumental’ that can demonstrate your technical facility

and interpretative ability. A ‘jazz standard’ is typically a 32 bar song form such as

Autumn Leaves (Kosma/Mercer), I Got Rhythm (Gershwin), Take the A-Train

(Strayhorn). A ‘jazz instrumental’ is typically a composition written by a jazz performer

such as Blue Bossa (Kenny Dorham), St. Thomas (Sonny Rollins) or Ornithology

(Charlie Parker). But you may choose a piece more aligned with the ‘jazz fusion’

genre or groove based instrumental/popular styles, for example. Improvisation within

the prepared piece is also encouraged. Performing with backing tracks is fine. There

are many pieces one could choose from the repertoire, and guidance from a jazz

instrumental or vocal tutor is highly recommended. Ideally you would play something

you love and can perform comfortably.

16

2. Improvisation

Improvise over a jazz 12 bar blues pattern. This will be to a backing tack (rhythm

section). A typical jazz blues chord progression as a reference for this style is Billie’s

Bounce (Parker) or Straight No Chaser (T.Monk).Outlining each chord in the

progression within your improvisation is encouraged.

3. Call and Response

Play back on your instrument (sing if you’re a vocalist) five recorded musical

examples of two bar duration.

4. Sight Reading

You will be asked to sight-read various musical examples.

5. Scales and Arpeggios

You may be asked to demonstrate knowledge of the following scales (in any key) –

major scales, mixolydian modes, aeolian modes, jazz minor scales (ascending

melodic minor), major pentatonic, minor pentatonic, dorian modes and blues scales.

Additionally, you may be asked to demonstrate knowledge of the following

arpeggios in any key – Major, Minor and Dominant 7th.

Jazz vocalists need only demonstrate knowledge of major scale, natural minor

(Aeolian mode), major pentatonic and minor pentatonic in their preferred key.

Similarly, they need only demonstrate the above arpeggios in their preferred key.

Examples of these scales are shown on the next page. For further examples, the

Department recommends Scales for Jazz Improvising by Dan Hearle (Studio PR.

USA).
